Chapter 306: The Fall of Qingzhou (I)
In the middle of July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the sun was splashing dust on the ground.
A hundred meters away from the palace, is the street, row upon row of shops are open, one of which is a teahouse, it seems to be a family, the boss and his wife, the wind and fire in a hand pot and a hand on the tea, mouth said: "Guest officers, my tea is cool and quenches your thirst, and you can use it and say it's good!"
After serving tea, as soon as the table was talking, someone asked, "Boss Jin, what you said is true?"
Boss Jin was in his thirties, with a white face and a beard under his lips, and said: "What I said is still false? The Hu people suffered a big loss, I heard that even the prince of the Hu people was beheaded, and 30,000 Hu people were beheaded!"
"Listen to people?" someone said
"I like to talk nonsense, how many Hu people are, it's 30,000. Boss Jin took a sip of tea, glanced left and right, and listened without saying anything, and some people around came to their senses, took out a piece of broken silver from the blanket, about a penny, and said: "Boss, give everyone on the table a bowl of green plum soup, and then some snacks." ”
The boss hurriedly went up to thank him, and then listened to Boss Jin at this table: "...... I was guarding in Luoyang, and when I saw it coming down, I thought it was broken...... I don't want Hu Ren to be a paper tiger, and I was killed in a few days......"
At this time, the people at the other table all stopped using tea, listened and talked, and saw that everyone was listening, this Jin boss became more and more proud, and said more and more refreshingly: "...... The Hu people who burned the armor as soon as the fire were burned, this General Wu is really a star from the sky!"
The people already have a bitter hatred and fear of the Hu people, and when they heard that everyone was happy, a middle-aged man took out some money and shouted: "It's so light to drink tea, come with a scoop of wine, and then a piece of braised pork." When I heard the news, I wanted to drink some wine and eat some meat, and I was very happy!"
The boss said loudly: "I'll go next door to buy it, this news sounds refreshing, it's almost noon, and I'm hungry to eat together!"
Talking about the joy went upside down.
100 meters away from the Marshal's Mansion
Several corridors pass through the garden, there is a large pond in it, a water hall is built, the stone bridge zigzags through, the left and right sides of the bank are planted with bamboo forests, and a row of willows are planted, the breeze blows, with water vapor and the bamboo forest is quiet, making people refresh their eyes and hearts.
He Zhi wore a thin silk coat and enjoyed the shade in a shade.
Qingzhou has Pingyuan County, Jinan County, Le'an County, Lin County, Beihai County, Donglai County six counties, He Zhi occupies three counties, although the army has been suspended, the fourth county has been laid half, He Zhi occupies Qingzhou three and a half counties, although it is not the lord of Qingzhou, but it is the most powerful party.
At this time, He Zhi took the fold and looked at it twice in a row, and he still felt incredible.
Turning defeat into victory, a big victory...... Not to mention these, if the information sent is true, the fourth prince that Hu Khan relied on the most died in the battle of Luoyang?
"The 30,000 army was completely wiped out, and even the heir died, and the Hu people fell this time, which was really a bit ruthless. He Zhi knew the weight of this information, and held the information casually, He Zhi got up and paced.
Behind him, a few pro-soldiers followed along the road and saluted one after another.
The garden is full of flowers and lush vegetation, and the faint aroma wafts through the nose as you walk along the road.
At this time, there was no expression on He Zhi's face.
As he gets older, the handsome and graceful past has been replaced by maturity and ability, wearing only a robe, he doesn't look like a handsome man with a degree of conquest, but a man of letters.
"Your commander hasn't come back yet?" After walking for a while, he sat down in a pavilion located on a rockery, and He Zhi asked a personal guard.
The guards bowed: "Marshal, the commander said that he could come back before noon." ”
Before noon?
He Zhi looked at the sky, it was almost noon at this time: "You should come back now, you will find him to see me!"
"No!" the named guard bowed back.
The wind was blowing in the pavilion, and He Zhi didn't speak, just meditated silently.
At the time of a pillar of incense, the guards returned, and there was a person behind him, dressed in civilian clothes, who hurried over.
"Are you back?" He Zhi asked softly when he saw the person who came.
"Yes, the little nephew has just come back, and I heard that uncle, you are looking for the little nephew. ”
It was He Changxing, who served as the commander of the pro-guard army.
He Zhi got a daughter in front of him very late, this nephew who was brought up early and He Zhi has the same relationship as father and son, although he is now middle-aged, but he is three years old, and he will be an adult for more than fifteen years, and his nephew's feelings have not faded much.
He Changxing not only commands the guards on weekdays, but also starts to contact government affairs earlier, and also goes to some banquets and has some contacts with local big families.
These are naturally He Zhi's acquiescence.
He Zhi looked at him and pointed to the position: "Changxing, you sit here." ”
After He Changxing thanked him, he sat down.
Looking at his nephew, who was between a teenager and a young man, He Zhi asked the surrounding guards to retreat farther away, and said, "Changxing, uncle just received information that Luoyang was occupied by the Dacheng army. ”
"I've heard that Luoyang was Dacheng Army, but I don't know how it is. He Changxing said.
He Zhi said: "The situation is here, you can see for yourself." ”
As he spoke, he handed the Luoyang information he was carrying to He Changxing.
He Changxing hurriedly took it in his hand, unfolded it and took a look, and a stunned look gradually appeared on his face: "All 30,000 iron horsemen were wiped out, and Hu Erbo died in battle?"
He Changxing was very shocked, he was a person who had contact with the military and politics, and he knew very well the combat effectiveness of the Hu people.
In particular, Khurbo, who was cultivated as an heir, was regarded as the core figure of the Khanate, and the death of this person was a great earthquake and a heavy blow to the Khanate.
"Uncle, what are your plans now?"
As early as before, there was a plan, after the Battle of Luoyang, to judge whether to surrender to Dacheng.
Right now, Dacheng has won, Luoyang is owned by Wang Hongyi, and if he continues to fight, he will come to Qingzhou, presumably, his uncle has some plans.
He Changxing handed back the information in his hand to He Zhi and waited for his uncle to answer.
"Remember what you said that day?"
"I once said that both the Hu people and the Dacheng Dynasty have established their foundations, and they are not comparable to me. At that time, the Hu people were menacing, not only with the prairie as the foundation, but also with the two states, and the emperor of Dacheng was young and promising, with the land of seven states, all of which were stronger than me, and these two parties would not allow Qingzhou to have a ...... for development."
He Changxing said: "What my uncle said that day, my little nephew remembers. My uncle also said that day that now if we surrender to any party, we can become important ministers and will not be suspicious, and if we unify Qingzhou and achieve princes, it is easy to attract disaster if we surrender again......"
"Yes, I will take a truce without fighting, waiting for the results of Luoyang...... "He Zhi is Han after all, and he still belongs to the Dacheng Dynasty, and now that he has won the victory, it is natural not to say who he is inclined to.
He Changxing saw this: "According to my uncle's wishes, is it to surrender to Dacheng?"
He Zhi said: "Mr. Xu said that the battle of Luoyang is very important, and if Dacheng can take Luoyang, it can almost be concluded that the next hundred years will be ......."
Seeing He Changxing pondering, He Zhi continued: "Cheng's army won a great victory in Luoyang, killing 30,000 Hu people, Huerbo Luoyang died, Dacheng's prestige, as the news spread, the world shook, and when the Dacheng army arrived in Qingzhou, I was afraid that it would be difficult to resist...... However, Mr. Xu was invited to come over to discuss this matter. ”
He Changxing listened and said, "Little nephew, let people invite Mr. Xu." ”
Seeing He Zhi nodding and He Changxing arranging, both of them fell silent.
Although I have been prepared for a long time, I still feel a little uncomfortable having to give up Qingzhou.
Xu Mao's mansion was built on the street of Dashuaifu, and someone was sent to invite Mr. Xu over, and the person arrived in a moment.
The three of them did not continue to speak in the small pavilion, and went to the study, where there were guards outside, and as soon as they entered, He Zhi said: "Sir, you said that the dragon's qi was growing and waning that day, only looking at the situation in Luoyang, and now the army has taken Luoyang, and Hu Erbo has even died, and now this is really ...... the hell."
Xu Mao was wearing a silk robe, shaking a bamboo fan, and his face was solemn: "This true dragon has been decided, it is Emperor Dacheng." ”
Seeing that the two of them were still confused, he said: "This time, that time! The victory and defeat that day were very different from now, and even I didn't expect that Hu'er Bo would fall in Luoyang...... As soon as this person died, the true dragon was determined, and it was difficult to change it again. ”
Xu Mao saw that half of the luck of the khanate was going to fall on Hu Erbo, which was not a secret in the cultivation world, even if he failed, Hu Erbo had great luck, and he could retreat with his whole body, and he didn't want this to die here.
The luck condensed by the Khanate was suddenly broken in half.
The dragon qi was originally mutually evaporating, the khanate declined, the dragon qi of the Dacheng Dynasty suddenly flourished, Luoyang won a big victory, and then Qingzhou was a must-take.
The six counties of Qingzhou, there is no co-owner, there will be no chance of development, at this time, the surrender can still be reused, and the stability of the He family can be maintained.
"So, Mr. agreed, and immediately handed over the table of surrender to Chengguo?" He Zhi asked.
Xu Mao nodded slowly: "Although it's late, it's still too late, and the matter of surrendering still needs to be decided early." ”
already had a plan, seeing that even Mr. Xu said so, He Zhi sighed and looked at He Changxing again, He Changxing did not object, hung his hand, and took a step back.
Seeing this, He Zhi made up his mind: "After the table is written, I will ask Mr. to take a look." ”
Xu Mao did not refuse, this is not only related to the rise and fall of the He family, but also related to the future of his officials and staff, bowed down and said: "Dare not obey your orders." ”
After a pause, he said: "Lord, taking advantage of the fact that he has not yet surrendered, some things still have to be arranged early." ”
He Zhi was stunned, suddenly came to his senses, and said: "Of course, Mr. Xu, you will serve as the Taishou of the Mansion, He Changxing, you will now take over the whole army and serve as the deputy general." ”
According to the rules of the Dacheng Dynasty, when the officials surrendered, they were basically based on their original official positions, or retained, or reduced to a grade.
Taishou is five grades, and the deputy general is almost four grades according to the current situation, even if it is reduced to one grade, this is very high, and the position of the original staff, although it is confidential and important, is no grade.
Xu Mao and He Changxing are all thanks, especially Xu Mao, who is still quite satisfied, not in vain for his hard work, Xu Mao knows that he is blessed, and he has already calculated in his heart, and he does not seek Rongda in his career, but only wants to be able to serve as the second Taishou, and he is very satisfied with the popularity and dragon energy.
